As\u00a0 the debate rages globally on whether or not to legalize abortion, the\u00a0 Catholic Order of the Knights of St. Mulumba, KSM, Maryland Sub-council, Lagos\u00a0 says it would\u00a0 not relent in its campaign on the sacredness of human life\u00a0 and would do all it can to stay strong in the battle against abortion.<\/p>\n

Speaking at\u00a0 an interactive seminar organised by\u00a0 the sub-council for students of Command Day Secondary School, Army Cantonment, Maryland, Ikeja under the theme, Life Is a Gift From God, Protect It,\u00a0 the guest speaker, Mrs. Harriet Ogbobine, counselling coordinator, Doctors Health Initiative, described abortion as an evil act that must be fought to a standstill.<\/p>\n

According to her,\u00a0 to put an end to the scourge, enlightenment campaigns should continuously be focused on teenage groups, who are inundated\u00a0 by the\u00a0 campaign\u00a0 of many pro-choice groups and very vulnerable to the disorientating global arguments on legalization of abortion.<\/p>\n

With the theme of\u00a0 this year\u2019s pro-life campaign, she assured that the minds of many, especially teenagers,\u00a0 would be opened to see abortion as\u00a0 evil and to look at\u00a0 life as a gift,\u00a0 and not an inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Asked whether it might be right to abort a baby conceived\u00a0 by a victim of rape, Ogbobine said: \u201cIf we are looking at somebody who was raped, killing or aborting the child does not actually convince the victim.<\/p>\n

The rape itself has to be dealt with but, if the person is now encouraged because of the circumstance surrounding that pregnancy to take the life of the innocent unborn child, that does not justify it\u00a0 because the child in question has the right to live as life is sacred and must not be tampered with\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
